Foreword
Hi, everyone, now the pet market is a hot industry, more and more people began to keep pets, Kimi was also picked up more than two months ago, from a cute little milk dog whose lanugo has not faded to today's car seat face uncle. Today, Kimi sister will share the preparation work before and after the arrival of the little milk dog, hoping to give some reference to the novice shoveling officials.
Preliminary preparations
Purchase article
1. Choose a regular kennel or a reliable family breeding, you can go to the field to investigate the environment of the kennel, or through the introduction of acquaintances, so as to avoid buying a dog to the greatest extent.
2. Officials who are ready to shovel shit can go to the kennel or the seller's home to select small milk dogs on the spot, so as to avoid switching dogs in the later period. (Since Kimi was recommended by a classmate and the seller was very reliable, it was selected by video).
3. Confirm whether the seller can provide the vaccine book and the vaccination video, and ensure that the dog has been vaccinated at least twice before it is picked up. If the seller can not provide the vaccine record, the owner needs to take the dog to the pet hospital for antibody examination, and then vaccinate under the guidance of the doctor.
Family preparation
1. Because the immunity of puppies is relatively low, it is necessary to buy pet disinfectant to disinfect the home. If there are dogs infected with infectious diseases such as parvovirus in the home before, try to ventilate for half a year before taking new puppies home.
2. Prepare a cage or fence as a place for the dog to live after taking it home. Cultivate the dog's ability to be alone. It can also prevent the dog from urinating and tearing down the house. Kimi's is a four-piece 80cm fence.
3. Prepare a hanging water bottle for the dog to drink water in the cage.
4. Prepare a dog toilet and a diaper. The dog toilet can be bought as large as possible if conditions permit. Kimi uses 64 * 48 cm.
5. Dog bowl. I chose Xiao Pei's weighing bowl. When I first raised a dog, I may not have any idea about the amount of feeding. This weighing bowl can help a lot.
6. Goat milk powder and dog food are the brands used by buyers and sellers for small milk dogs to prevent inadaptability after changing dog food, and then slowly transition to other better brands.
7. P chain. Small milk dogs, especially medium and large dogs, grow fast. If you use the chest and back, you may not be able to use it after a period of time. It is easy to cause waste. You can buy the P chain first, or you can use the P chain for training. It is recommended to choose the P chain with anti-strangulation limit buckle.
How to take care of a puppy when you get home
1. The puppy that has just arrived at home may be very smelly. Try to bathe him after vaccination. If you really can't stand it, try to wash it 3 or 4 days after you get home. After washing, you must dry it. Because the PH value of dog skin is different from that of human skin, it is not allowed to use human shower gel. When Kimi was young, she used Japanese Lion pet puppy shower gel, which is mild and non-irritating.
2. When buying deworming products for puppies, you can choose some milder products. Kimi uses deworming products for puppies that are big favorites. Many anthelmintic products, such as Fulaien and Canine Heart Protection, are forbidden for Collie dogs, and owners of Collie dogs such as Bianmu, Sumu and Shelty need to pay attention to this.
3. Probiotics: Some puppies have fragile intestines and stomach. Owners can buy some probiotics for a rainy day. Japanese Jin is recommended. If you have a limited budget, you can also buy Gooden's probiotics.
4. Due to cost considerations, the seller will not give the puppy a particularly good dog food. After the adaptation period, the owner can replace the puppy with a higher quality dog food. Novice owners can refer to the WDJ list as the basis for choosing dog food. The choice of dog food depends on the owner's economic situation, but do not choose the homemade food from small workshops.
5. Small milk dogs have to go through the period of changing teeth when they come home. Teeth-grinding snacks and toys are also essential, which can reduce the damage of dogs to furniture. Natural products can be chosen as far as possible.
Do not need to buy products Or money-saving strategy
1. Nutritional cream: As long as you choose a good dog food, the nutrition is enough, and you don't need to feed the nutritional cream.
2. Calcium tablets: Additional calcium supplements will destroy the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in dog food. Excessive calcium supplements can easily cause kidney problems, urinary stones and joint problems. Calcium supplements should be given to dogs under the guidance of doctors.
3. Lecithin: Most pet lecithin on the market is soybean lecithin. The absorption rate of dogs is very low. It is better to cook egg yolk for dogs. It is fresh, healthy and cheap.
4. Pet goat milk powder: Pet bloggers have done experiments. Many domestic pet goat milk powder is added with suspended white blocks or mixed with milk powder. The quality is not up to standard. You can buy pure goat milk powder for dogs to drink as an alternative. The quality is guaranteed and the price is cheaper.
5. Pet wipes: It's more cost-effective to replace them with baby wipes.
Sum up
The above recommended products are only the items needed in the initial stage of raising dogs, and more items will be needed in the later stage, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, ear cleaner, hair conditioner, etc. The choice of products depends on the owner's economic situation. I also hope that this experience can make the novice shoveling officials pay less IQ tax (spend money to buy a lot of useless health care products). Spend your money on what your dog really needs (high-quality dog food, fresh complementary foods). I wish all the little milk dogs have a happy life!
